Hi,
Today i am going to list some survey sites, that offer interactive surveys, focus groups, and product testing opportunities. As i have mentioned earlier, you get paid more for interactive surveys or focus groups. the pay ranges from $50 to $150, just for a one hour discussion, and your pay might extend depending upon the length of the survey. Of course, first u have to be selected for the survey, since the companies conducting the surveys, are very particular about the candidates who are selected.
But chances are you will get selected, if not by one company then by another, since they need to include people from various demographies, i.e people from different races, states, jobs, and also economic conditions. I personally have gotten plenty of opportunities, but i did not accept them since i only like doing online interactive surveys. I do not like doing face to face interviews, or telephonic interviews, but if you do not have any such conditions, you can expect to earn a good sum per month. C'mon, seriously, even if you get two opportunities per month, and you get paid $150 for each, you would be making an easy $300 bucks, just for answering simple questions for two hours.
However remember, that if you are going to attend an offline focus group, or an telephonic interview, you are totally responsible for the costs you incur. The company will only pay for the interview, it will not pay your taxi fare, or your phone bill.
Well, lets get down to it then. Try to join as many of these sites as you can, but please read their terms and conditions before you sign up, since a few of them are only for US or UK residents, and a couple of them only accept citizens.

Focus Groups
Offer Sites
Hi,
Today we are going to see the various offer sites available. There definitely are lot more than those i have listed below, but i have selected only those which i know are legit, and do have a good history of making payments.
Firstly,if you are interested in earning a steady income from home, then offer sites are the way to go. You can definitely earn a decent sum of money from doing surveys, but it will not be enough to pay your bills, and you will be left waiting for the next survey to appear in your inbox. So, offer sites are the best answer to your problems,since you have a better hold over how much you earn. Some offer sites like, Cash Lagoon, will credit you immediately and the payout is only $2, and will appear very quickly in your paypal account. But others, do not pay so quickly, suppose you reach the min payout for the site by the month end, you will get the payment by the 15th of next month. Be sure to check their payout methods, since they change from time to time.
But a note of warning, always remember that you should be the only one using the computer, you use for doing offers, since if someone else accesses their account for the same site,on that computer, than your account will be cancelled. This also applies to computer using a shared network, like for ex in a school. All Offer sites are very severe about this, so remember to read their Terms & Conditions fully.
Tips : Maintain a seperate Email id for offer sites, most preferably Gmail, since gmail is good in differentiating spam. Also you can make small changes to your id, to make the companies think it is different, though it is still yours. For ex
Suppose you id is : Yourname@gmail.comYou can also write it as Yo.urname@gmail.com (or) You.rname@gmail.com , etc
So, you can change it as you please, by changing the place of the Period,but still the mail will arrive to your real Email address.
Also, another thing, try to use Internet Explorer, while doing offers, and always remember to clear your browsing history, so that any cookies are deleted. All you have to do is go to, Tools->Delete Browsing history.
And do not do too many offers at once, since there might be a problem in getting credited for them. But don't worry, even if you register for 4 offer sites, and do a few offers from each site totaling $5 daily, you can easily make $600 per month. Now isn't that easy? And if you do credit card offers, you can earn a lot more. But remember to keep a list of credit card offers that you signed up for, so that you will know when the trial ends, and will not be charged by the company.
List of Offer Sites
1) Inbox Dollars : Inbox dollars is one of the better offer sites, and the type of offers differ from, 100% free offers to free trial offers, and you can also complete the daily surveys available on the site. Inbox dollars also sends regular paid Emails and you will be paid anything from 3-5 cents per Email. You get a sign up bonus of $5, and you can also earn money through your referrals. Minimum payout is $30.
2) Send Earnings : Send Earning is another site exactly like Inbox dollars, and I suspect they are owned by the same company or a collaboration. Well you will know it yourself when you log into their sites. But who cars, as long as they pay you. Again here too you can either do the surveys or do some of the trial offers. And in case you haven’t guessed it yet min payout is $30, and you get a sign up bonus of $5.
3) Memolink : Memolink is another site that is a combination of offer and survey sites. Daily Otx surveys are available at the site, and you can also choose among the various offers that are available. You are awarded points for surveys,, and offer completion, and if you have the necessary points, you can redeem for cash or other gifts. Min points needed are 19,200points for redeeming $10.
4) Cash Lagoon : This is one of the best paying offer sites, you can get credited in a matter of minutes. Payment is through Paypal, and once you get verified, you can request payment, and get it transferred to your account within a few hours.
5) Gangster Greed : Another offer site, that is highly popular. Has good offers, and you can get credited as soon as you reach the minimum payout.
6) Treasure Trooper : A site that has a large no of offers, and also two daily surveys, worth $0.75 each, which you can complete. There are also plenty of prizes which you can participate to win. Payment is either through paypal or check.
7)Fusion Cash : Fusion cash is an complete offer site, and you get cash for completing offers. You get $5 sign up bonus. Minimum payout is $25, and at least $15 must come from offers completion. Payment is through Pay pal, Direct deposit or check.
8) Get Paid to try : Get paid to try is again another offer site like fusion cash, but the min payout is only $20, and they promise to make the payout as soon as possible. There are lots of offers, like free trial of netflix, or blockbuster, or Efax available, so if you are interested in doing offers, this is a site for you.
9) Cash Crate Money : Cash Crate is a favorite of most people who are interested in offer sites, one reason may be that the min payout is only $10. But you will have to wait a month for the payment to be processed. You can also get paid by referring people.
10) Surf Bounty : Surf Bounty is another offer site where you will be paid for completing offers, reading mail, and shopping . Min payout is $50, and you can redeem payment only one month after the amount appears in your account. Payment is made through Paypal, in the beginning of the month, following the month in which the payment was requested.
11) Adbux : At Adbux you will be paid for completing free trials, clicking on websites, shopping etc. However the payments calculations are a bit complex , so I would advice you to check it out before you join. Apparenty you will be paid in Adbux shares or points, and 100 points make up one share. You will be paid based upon the share value, for ex if the share value is $0.65, and you have 225 shares, you cash out $146.25.
12) tiktik Cash : this is another offer site where you can get cash for completing offers, but the min payout is $100, which is the highest anywhere. I would not recommend this site, but if you are interested in doing offers, you are free to join.
13) Best paid Online : This is another offer site which has 100% free and trial offers, also if you buy products in any of the stores through this site you will get some percentage of your money back depending upon the store. Payout is at $25.
14) Chillin Cash : An offer site, where you will find offers seperated depending upon the company, and also here you will find good tips on how to complete the offers. So, you will have an clear idea of what you have to do to be credited for that offer.
Also for those of you who are interested in PayPer Click sites, that is being clicked for reading Email, visit the sites below.
1) Gain Pay
2) Email Pays
I have just named three, but you can get a big list of such sites just by visiting these three. You will probably get 0.5-3 cents per Email. So, if you want to join go ahead.
Also for those who are interested in online games, and answering Quizzes, visit these sites
1) Winster
2) Iwon
3) Reward tv
Lastly, there are plenty more survey sites, but I have only listed those that I know are free to join, and have a good enough payment record. But please check once more before joining, and if you know a survey site that you want me to review or add, please let me know.
Bye :)
